    Many of you know I have a shit-ton amount of glassware.....tis a curse sometimes!

    Recently I was washing some glasses and realized I have 5 different Teku glasses....

    Are you into this type of glass?

    How many do you have?

    Do you have a favorite?

    I think my fav is the New Holland Dragons Milk one....love the gold accents....

    I consider my 2 Treehouse Teku's to be my official IPA glass. It definitely helps to bring out all great aroma's and flavors out of any IPA.

    I'm guilty of overusing my Teku. I feel like it works well for such a wide range of styles so if I'm using the same glass for my second or third beer, I can just give it a rinse without having to worry about my glassware no longer being compatible with the new style.

    I have two plain glasses without decals that I alternate between. They do have etchings at the bottom for nucleation points to aid in head retention so they're not totally feature-less I suppose.

    I do love my Tekus!

    That's gutsy to allow a cat to get that close to your pricey glassware. :wink:

    To answer your question, I have one teku, and it's from Three Floyds. Because it's so fragile looking and represents the most money that I've put into a glass, I have never used it. :slight_frown:

    The Teku is definitely my favorite. It's a stylish, versatile glass that I use for pretty much everything except Lagers and English Ales, for which I have mug and pint glass. I should probably get a chalice for Belgian Ales as well though. I don't really think that Tekus are that fragile either, I ony broke two in four years so far!

    I have one. If I ever run across a Lost Abbey logo TeKu at a reasonable price, I'll have two.

    I have three & they are some of my favorite glasses. One each from: The Lost Abbey, Cigar City, & Firestone Walker. The last one was given to my wife by a kind friend who was trying to downsize his massive collection.

    I’m down to two tekus, a standard sized one and a smaller tasting size? (I’m guessing 8 oz?)

    Last year I picked up a super fancy, super fragile Yeast of Eden glass and that’s become my go-to for all the beers I would have poured into my teku. … I’m still a little amazed I haven’t broken either of these.

    While a teku has become the glass I probably use most, I still maintain that they are the ugliest glassware design to reach wide acceptance. This excludes the "fishbowl" category.

    i have 2 unbranded tekus. Use em for most styles but find myself reaching for my globe more often because they're easier to clean.

    I would use it more if there was a 19-20oz version.

    Didn't have a teku until a few months ago. Love the way it feels just right in my hand. Mostly use it for ipas

    I don't use them too often. Good for when I'm throwing back some fruited goses or kettle sours but as far as everyone saying IPAs I prefer my Spiegelau IPA glass

    Nah, Stella is a good kitty - with a black cat and a doggo running around the Boathouse - they have amazingly never broke any of the hundreds of glasses I have up on shelves.....me, on the other hand, I have broke a few!
    Even when she had 6 kittens like 5 years ago, none of those little buggers ever broke any of the glassware in the house! :stuck_out_tongue:
